>>>However, msft has what 25 BILLION in cash and the ability to support such ventures for another
50 years if need be<<<

I hear you! They used the same tactics to crush Netscape.
However, changing ISPs is not that easy.
What happens to your e-mail addr?
Also, MSFT will have to bulkup on their POPs. AOL has by far the largest number of POPs in the country.
Another thing. MSFT has not succeeded in anything outside of software.
I dont think AOL should be too worried unless MSFT teams up with some other organization like AT&T/excite@home etc..
